Bobby Jenks has a bad night: Facing DUI charges

Bobby Jenks

Getting pulled over for a DUI charge is never a good thing. It's worse if you are a professional athlete.

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Bobby Jenks is facing multiple DUI related charges after the car he was driving early Friday morning after driving too fast and careening off the road and onto the sidewalk.

Jenks said it was because he was under the influence of "Too many Muscle Relaxers" which may...or may not be true. Either way, he should not have been behind the wheel of his Mercedes and will now pay the price for his decision.

It might be noted that Jenks also admitted he was on the way home after leaving a nightclub called "Babes" and admitted to hitting a car in the club's parking lot.

The Red Sox, for their part haven't had much to say. They may consider nominating Jenks for a Darwin award because whether he was drinking or not, he did a whole host of really, really stupid things.
